Abstract
This paper describes a semi-challenging compiler project appropriate for Compiler Construction course at the advanced undergraduate-graduate level at a non-PhD-granting institution. The compiler project is centered around a table-driven parser and associated syntax-directed semantic routines for a real programming language. Our experience indicates that the curriculum can be strengthened by putting students into the most challenging learning environment in which they can succeed.
